I would be surprised if anyone blasts you. > 1. Do you have seperate boxes for DB and webserver? (no) This would be the first thing I'd suggest (and what everyone else seems to suggest). People need clustering for failover more than they need it for handling load, e.g., macromedia.com runs on a cluster but that's mostly to give us 100% uptime even when we're making new releases of the website (we take half the servers out of the cluster and build to those, test the apps, put them back in the cluster, pull the other half, build, test, put them back). And clustering definitely isn't "entry level" - it's expensive. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:188256 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
